XEmacs 21.5.7 "broccoflower" is released.
This is a checkpoint release. There are still lots of issues to work
out, known crashes on Linux, etc. It builds on my box; that's the
only promise we're making at this point. If it _doesn't_ build on
yours, please send a build-report and report the problem to
xemacs-beta. If it does, we'd still appreciate a build report.
Many crashes and fatal problems have been fixed. TTYs now work.
Lisp and internal APIs continue to change rapidly. Most of Ben's big
merges are now complete. Michael Sperber and team have finished most
of the preparatory work on the new garbage collection framework (none
of this is visible to user or Lisp APIs yet), and should soon start on
revising the collector itself.
